1 MIDDLESEX COUNTY FIRE MARSHAL 1001 Fire Academy Drive Sayreville, NJ (office) (fax) To: All Real Estate Agencies/Home Owners Subject: Smoke Detector/Carbon Monoxide Detector Inspections Attached please find an application for a Smoke Detector/Carbon Monoxide Detector Inspection which is required pursuant to the NJ Uniform Fire Code N.J.A.C. 5: and the Middlesex County Fire Marshal Ordinance when a change in occupancy or ownership occurs. Ten (10) business days or more before closing/change of occupancy: $50.00 Less than ten (10) business days before closing/change of occupancy: $75.00 Less than (4) business days before closing/change of occupancy: $ Re-inspection for failed inspection: $20.00 Failure to be present for scheduled inspection without notification: $75.00 Fees can be very significant if adequate notice is not provided for these inspections. The volume of requested inspections requires complex scheduling. When this law took effect, the county s fire prevention bureau has tried to make this process as easy as possible; however, we are receiving too many requests that do not allow for proper scheduling. The new fees address this problem. Our purpose is to encourage prompt attention to this requirement and adequate scheduling lead time for the inspections. Make checks payable to the Office of the Fire Marshal. Thank you for your cooperation in proper scheduling. Please feel free to contact our office if you should require further assistance. Sincerely, Michael Gallagher Middlesex County Fire Marshal
